Hi...I have a page with a flash movie...I want the page to advance to other
webpage automatically after 6 seconds...but I want this time to start after
the flash movie has completely loaded.....

I dont want to play with the action script....any ideas with javascript ?

Your best bet really is the action script because that's the only real way
you'll know when the movie is finished. You can use the http-refresh meta
tag, but if the user had to wait to download the movie because they have a
slow connection you'll force them to advance before the movie is finished.

the meta refreh goes in the <head> section of the document and is in the
format:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N;URL">

where n is the time to wait in seconds and URL is the URL to refresh to.
